Kalup Linzy: Revelation 23:9 The Trade In Our Life

123 East 12th Street
New York, NY 10003
Through December 5th

Kalup Linzy is our Madonna of 2009 — or so the press release for the multidisciplinary artist’s solo exhibition proclaims. And if anyone can live up to the title it’s Linzy. In his short films, music videos and drawings, Linzy captures the intersection of contemporary art and pop culture through sentimental stories of love, loss and betrayal. Linzy plays the main characters of his melodramatic soap operas, usually in drag, to explore questions of race, gender, class, sexuality and national identity.
